Great Excitement in Wales
about a Marvellous Cure.
Living Six Years Without
Going to Bed.

q fabulous story or a marvellous cure.
The story was that poor sufferer who
had not been able to lie down in bed for
six long years, given up TO die by al the
Doctors, had been speedily cured by
some Patent Medicine. 1t was related
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, as was said, that the
Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for the truth
of the report.
Having little curiosity to know how
such stories grow in travelling, took
the liberty while at the village of Liam
rystyd TO call upon the Vicar, the Rev.
T. Evans, and to enquire about this
wonderful cure. Though II total stran.
| ger to him, both he and his wife most
| graciously entertained me in a half
hours conversation, principally touching
the case of Mr.. Pugh, in which they
seemed to take deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
sufferings. and now rejoiced in what
seemed TO them most remarkable cure.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
character as II respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. left the venerable
Vicar with livelier sense of the happy
relation of II pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympathised
with all who are afflicted in mind, body.
or estate.
On my return to Aberystwth, was
impressed with desire to see Mr. Pugh,
whose reputation stood so high. His
farm is called Pancom. Mawr, signifying
"above the dingle," situated near the
summit of smooth round hill, over
looking beautiful valley in which is
situated the lovely ivymantled Church
of Llanddeinol found Mr.. Pugh,
apparently about 40 years old, of medium
height, rather slight, with pleasant and
intelligent face. 1 told him / had heard
of his great affliction and of his remark.
able and almost miraculous relief, and
that / had come to learn from his own
Inns. what there was of truth in the re.
ports.
Mr.. Pugh remarked that his neigh.
bors had taken II kindly and symp-
athletic interest in his case for many
years, but of late their interest had been
greatly awakened by happy change in
his condition. What you report as hav.
ing heard abroad, said he, is substant.

understood that my case was ever given
up as hopeless by any Physician.
have been treated by several Doctors
hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but
unfortunately no prescription Of theirs
ever brought the desired relief.
Fifteen years ago, he said, first be-
came conscious of sour and deranged
stomach and loss of appetite, which the
Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What
food could hold in my stomach seem.
cd to do me no good and was often
thrown up with painful retchings. This
was followed after time with hoarse-

which the Doctors called bronchitis,
and I was treated for that, but with
little success. Then came shOrtness OF
breath and sense of suffocation, espe.
cially nights, with clammy sweat, and l
would have to get out of bed and some
times open door or window IN winter
weather to fill my lungs with the cold
air.
The Vicar remarked that he presumed
his name had been connected with the
report from his having mentioned the
case to Mr.. John Thomas, chemist of
Llanon. He said Mr.. Pugh was former.
ly resident of their parish, but was now
living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
This medicine they administered to
me according to the directions, when to
their surprise and delight no less than
my own, the spasm ceased. / became at
ease, and my stomach was Gained. My
bowels waie moved as by gentle
cathartic, and felt sense of quiet

taken the medicine. have continued
to take the medicine daily now for
something over two months, and can
lie down and sleep sweetly at nights
and have not since had a recurrence of
those terrible spasms and sweatings. l

bowels have been and ARE being thor

medicine. In fact l feel like new

more severe spasmodic attack, and my
family and neighbors became alarmed,
